Submission | EMz – African Roots

by Phil Chard

EMZ's African Roots will not be winning any lyrical awards this year. I am willing to stake my reputation on that. The sing is basically a repetitive ode to a shaking ass in the "jungle" where EMZ repeats the phrase "look at that bum go" at least 50 times. However, what it lacks in lyrical complexity it makes up for with an incredible instrumental that fuses tribal elements, progressive house and electro. As DJ Khaled says "its a vibe" . EMZ could have just hopped on this song and recited the 2016 Budget and the beat and hook would have made it bearable.
